As I did in previous months, here’s an update on the number of Twitter followers of the Democratic presidential candidates, updated since last month’s update.
Six months ago I started using a tool that gives me precise Twitter follower counts.
I do this Twitter Primary update the last Tuesday of each month, following Monday’s Clown Car Update.
The following are all the declared Democratic Presidential candidates ranked in order of Twitter followers:
- Bernie Sanders: 10,760,318 (up 372,344)
- Joe Biden: 4,189,581 (up 53,012)
- Elizabeth Warren: 3,782,699 (up 126,668)
- Michael Bloomberg: 2,699,760 (up 299,036)
- Pete Buttigieg: 1,737,232 (up 136,279)
- Amy Klobuchar: 972,648 (up 96,239)
- Tulsi Gabbard: 789,081 (up 14,911)
- Tom Steyer: 296,335 (up 17,542)
Removed from the last update: Andrew Yang, Deval Patrick, Michael Bennet, John Delaney
For reference, President Donald Trump’s personal account has 72,989,096 followers, up 1,258,269 since the last roundup, so once again Trump gained more Twitter followers this month than all the Democratic presidential contenders combined. The official presidential @POTUS account has 28,262,527 followers, which I’m sure includes a great deal of overlap with Trump’s personal followers.
A few notes:
